I’m only half-joking ... this could attract some CW pax on a budget, releasing more seats in CW for redemptions.

Strange! It doesn't show on my pc but does on my phone!

While not strictly related to the new WT+ service, the hot breakfast (cheese omelette) i received onboard last week's LHR-HKG was distinctly better than what I have received before. Has this route moved to Do&Co?

Can I help you

i wish I'd taken a photo. I honestly thought that I'd be pleased to be served the omelette in business class. Pleasing texture, very flavourful

So is this new catering (WTP) supplied by Do&Co?

Is this part of the slow migration over to all catering to be supplied by Do&Co?

I have just booked in WTP to JFK on 9th Feb and noticed I could pre-order (which I am sure I couldn't do before), choices presented were:

Braised British beef with roast new potatoes, onion soubise, carrots and bourguignonne sauce
Roasted guinea fowl with braised red cabbage, green beans, roast potato and mustard and chive jus
Rigatoni pasta in a creamy garlic and herb sauce with leek , pumpkin and baby spinach

Looks like a very good step up imo, will have to see what other soft changes are in place

Some of the other improvements will be the bedding.... Nice blankets and pillows apparently. I would just like to see WT+ get its own crew assigned to the cabin, like they do on VS. The service is much better when that happens.

Can I help you

It's actually a very astute observation in my view. I find PE to be perfectly acceptable for day flights but the two things that put me off are the poor IFE on the Mid-J aircraft, and the catering. I recently travelled LHR - LAX on BA and the flight was hell, in spite of it being on an 86J 747. One of the main issues (and one that I did complain to BA about) was the catering, especially when you compare BA's PE offering to that from BA and CX. The second meal in particular was an absolute joke.

If the reality of the PE enhancements is as good as the marketing implies they will be then I for one can definitely see myself moving back to Premium Economy and, moreover, BA for daytime flights. My next trip home is booked with AA, partly on cost but also partly because of what I perceive to be superior hard and soft products. It will be good if BA does up its game significantly to bring it back to at least par with the other OW carriers offering a PE cabin and service.

You have to wonder if the catering department is ex-Alitalia sometimes.
